Washington Startups Bring in $51.7M in September, Healthcare, Internet, and Software Sectors Lead in Deals

Share

Every month we take some time to look at the deals Washington tech and biotech companies inked in the month prior, and compare them to recent trends. Unlike our weekly investment deals roundups, these monthly features give us the opportunity to look back through both the large investment that made big headlines when they broke, as well as the smaller “under the radar” deals that may have gone unnoticed. As October comes to a close (can you believe it’s gone by this fast?), it’s time to take a look at the tech and biotech deals Washington companies closed in September. As always, the information is based on data provided by our partner, New York-based private company intelligence firm CB Insights, and our own past coverage.

In September, the healthcare sector was still the top contender for financing, bringing in $17 million. But much like in August, the Internet and software sectors came in second and third in September, bringing in $13.6 million, and $12 million respectively.

Computer hardware and services startups came in fourth, with $8 million in financing, and the mobile and telecommunications sector trailed behind for the bottom rank, with just $1.1 million in deals.
